Hi
I am trying to incorporate x-pack in my logstash setup scripts. However offline install of x-pack seems to be broken on windows.
If I install it online , it works fine.
c:\elastic\logstash\bin\>call logstash-plugin install file:///elastic/install/plugins/x-pack-5.3.0.zip
ERROR: File not found for: file:///elastic/install/plugins/x-pack-5.3.0.zip, message: Can't file local file /elastic/install/plugins/x-pack-5.3.0.zip
c:\elastic\logstash\bin\>dir \elastic\install\plugins\x-pack-5.3.0.zip

Have you seen this before ?

Hello,
Did you try with the following URI with `///` see doc: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File\_URI\_scheme#Windows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme#Windows)
```auto
bin/logstash-plugin install file:///c:/elastic/install/plugins/x-pack-5.3.0.zip
```

I think our x-pack installation page would benefit to have a windows example when you are trying to do everything offline. I will suggest that.

Hi Pier
That syntax did the trick 😉
c:\elastic\logstash\>bin\logstash-plugin install file:///c:/elastic/install/plugins/x-pack-5.3.0.zip
Installing file: /c:/elastic/install/plugins/x-pack-5.3.0.zip
Install successful
Thnx for your help
Regards
Kim
